2001 Sundeck instrument panel access?

210 Sundeck. Is there a front way to access to the instrument panel? I am needing to replace the volt gage and my arms/boy cannot contort to the access through the rear panel.

I don't think there are any exposed screw heads on the instrument panel, right? Assuming that is correct, the access is through the trap door in the storage area directly in front of the helm. I've been in that area, before - it's not that bad (in regards to "normal" access to things on boats, anyways!). If you can't get in there, borrow someone that is more limber. It's definitely doable.

Thanks, Lazy Daze. I am aware of the access through the trap door. I have a bad back and that contortion is impossible for me to do. I will have to have a Sea Ray mechanic do the work.
